Horseplayers should be willing to tough it out for 6 months to a year.<br /><br />To give the leaders incentive to lower the takeout, we can also cook up a scenario of a nationwide "pool party" on California racing to celebrate a reduction.<br /><br />But first things first.<br />I've made preparations to wean myself off Cal racing (both north and south).

I know it but I need to be reminded. Although I have been a huge fan of Cal racing I will boycott . So in most states<br />are the take out rates decided by state legislatures ? I remember learning many years ago<br />Ontario tracks determine their own take outs . Is this still the case ?Tomnoreply@blogger.com
